Hi Mary! That is a great idea. Standards are so important, and it is really easy to lose digital information to obsolete software and file formats. Why don’t you copy that into a blog post and propose it as a session? There are instructions on how to do this at the top of the page at nola2013.thatcamp.org/sessions/, but let me know if you have trouble.

I was! I was in Lexington, Kentucky for 13 years and studied at U.K. and Midway College. Half of my Kentucky friends are Transy grads, though, so I ended up spending a ton of time on Transylvania campus too. Sometimes I feel like I went there. But I grew up in West Virginia, so does that make me a Kentuckian? Not sure…

Gina-I got my undergraduate degree from Transylvania University, also in Lexington. Are you a fellow Kentuckian?

I am a current PhD student in Urban Studies at the University of New Orleans. I intend on using THATCamp to expand my knowledge of online tools useful to digital archiving. I would love a session that discusses the most acceptable academic and professional practices for digitizing old photographs and trade journals. Learning about different free app creation software would also be of interest. Getting excited!
